    Google's spiders don't crawl java.... I hope this just wasn't true.... Many of us use html/java codes in our blogger's blogs' widgets added to our templates....

    I'm planning on using some java code in a widget, that rotates content that includes some strong keywords.... are search engines gonna crawl or even consider these keywords? How about our swicki cloud tags.... useless? If so, how do we overcome this?

    I am pretty sure that the Search Engines are not able understand Javascript so I wouldn't put any important content in there. Why don't you use some PHP to deliver the content?

    I guess then I would have to find a way to convert the java scripts I have, so that the SE can crawl them.... Isn't that too much work?:(
